The Month Found It's Brrr...

 

October finally found some chill.  OK, now send it back.  This is supposed to last the weekend.  I have no use for it or the dark.  At least it's supposed to be a clear day.

We knew this week was going to be busy.  We didn't know it was going to be filled with so much tiresome, unnecessarily trying crap.  It's like someone said, here's a extra burden & random issue for every step we took.   This week should have been a bit tiring, not nerve wracking, infuriating & exhausting.  BTW, none of the add-ons were our doing.  That nonsense was provided by people who are supposed to know how to do their jobs, bystanders & Fort Smith in general.

Mini gripe & rant over.  Take care.

Rough Friday...

 

The 1st week of August is in the bag.  Yesterday was a rough outing for us.  It was just a shopping & mail run, but still, it did us in for the day.  Neither of us handled it well.  The only good thing about the day was that it got somewhat cooler in the evening.  It didn't do much about the humidity, but at least the temps were down a bit.

Sleeping has been rough.  Between it being hot, muggy nights & my body aching, sleep's been difficult.  Waking has been worse.  I feel like jerky in the morning.  The heat of the room & the fan moving the air, dehydrates me.

The heat's already building back up.  No more cool air for a bit.  What rain we were supposed to get this week failed to show.  There's been no precipitation this month.  On a high note, the yard might actually die back for a bit.

That's all for now, take care.

Hot, Tiring Week...

 

This 1st week of August has been rough.  It's been hot, hazy & a bit hectic.  More than anything else, it's been exhausting.  I have a bad feeling this is how the month is going to play out.  So much for a mellow August.  2026 is really being a crapfest for me.

We'll go shopping in a bit & that should be for our day.  That's good, neither of us is in a great place.  Maybe the weekend can help that.

That's all, take care.

Middle May Sunday...

 

It's hazy again this morning, but this time it's bright.  Bright haze is hard to look at, it almost glows.  This is the 3rd of 5 Sundays this month.  There will be shopping, errands, bill paying & an appointment this week.   More might pop up, but that's what's on the schedule for us at the moment.

It's getting warmer.  I should finish seasonal stuff this week.  Too bad, the rest of the month looks to be stormy or dreary.  I'm over clouds for a while.  I want some sunlight.

That's it for now, take care.

More Busy Week Stuff....

 

The week is still busy.  We got some things done yesterday, but not everything went as we'd thought it would.  That's causing some workarounds to be thought out.    

It's time to handle bank runs & bills.  We both have appointments tomorrow.  All my labs finally made it to the specialist. 

I'll be happy when some issues get off our plate.  They've been lingering too long & there isn't much more we can do about them.  There's always more stuff to just waiting.

That's it for now, take care.

1st Full Week...

 

It figures the 1st week of 2026 is ending on a trash day.   This is the 1st haul of garbage to the curb of the year.  It's back to our normal date.  The last 2 weeks got bumped to Saturday due to holidays.   At least we didn't have to deal with the not having trash hauled off for 3 weeks.  That would've been a mess.

There's more appointments for my roomie today.  Those might start slowing down in a week or so.  She's handling a lot right now.  

I used to worry, that if something were to happen to me, she'd have a hard time.  Not just with me not being there, but the day to day stuff.  I think she's getting to where that might not be easy on her, but she could handle it.  If not right this moment, then in the foreseeable future.  That makes things a little more secure.

That's it for now, take care.  Goodbye 1st week of 2026.

It Begins Again & So On...

 

This week is going to be filled to the brim.  I have to get around, take a shower, eat, brush my teeth & then drive over to my dentist office.  Then we'll grab something to eat, drive home & maybe an errand.  This week looks pretty filled up.  

The holidays start soon.  Hope things are going well for everyone.  Take care.

Week 2 Begins...

 

There's something going on everyday of this week, so we're having to shop on Sunday.  I have a dentist appointment tomorrow & most of the remainder is for my roomie.  It's going to be busy time.

I need to get around & that's not being easy this morning, it's dreary & gray.  This isn't motivating me to get it together.

That's all for now, take care.

1st Week Of November Done...

 

The week is handled & it doesn't look like next week will be as busy.  Shopping & Friday errands should be all there is today.  It'd be nice to have a quiet weekend.  Too bad it's supposed to get cold.  This could be our 1st freeze.  

The benefit matter is still up in the air.  The government shutdown is ongoing & the current administration is utterly useless & debased.  This needs to get fixed soon.

That's all for now, take care.

Sunday Pause & Fire Ants...

 

I don't think we have anything to do today.  It all starts back up tomorrow & runs through the week.  There are several appointments, errands, bills, shopping & car things.  That's probably leaving things out like yard stuff & getting meds.

I've finally started Fall yard stuff.  I was dealing with a bush when I got a surprise.  It was full of fire ants.  They covered my lower left arm.  There are several stings from the elbow down to my hand.  There are a couple on my right side & a sting on the back of my neck.  I hate fire ants.  They serve no purpose here, let them die.

That's all for now, take care.

Dark August Morning...

 

There could be a lot of rain today.  It's dark & cooler.  That looks to be the trend for a while.  I hope things don't cool down too quickly, but I don't see any 90s in the forecast.  Of course that could change.   

This last bit of me being 58 isn't going to be easy.  It's going to be dark all week & I'm already dreading it.  The worst part of the year is creeping up.  I really don't have to see 59.  It's not like there'll be anything good for me.  It'll only more of the same & worse.  Birthdays should come with the option of "enough" or "I've had my fill, thank you."

My roomie is making some future plans.  They're reasonable ideas.  I hope they work well for her.  I don't have those anymore.  I haven't for a long time.  Each year, it gets harder to see the positive things with all the crap looming.

That's it for this morning, take care.

Need A Nothing...

 

This last week was hard on my household.  It was more of what this Summer had to dish out;  hard, hot & expensive.  The weather wasn't the worst thing this season, it was everything else.   The animal issues & all the breaking.  

We need at least a day of nothing, nothing happening, breaking, costing, etc...  We are both exhausted & beyond frayed.  There needs to be time recuperate or we're going to have some real issues with our well being.

That's all for now, take care.

So Far This Week...

 

We got the car back yesterday.  That was a lot of cash.  For now it seems to be running fine.  I got my labs drawn later in the day than I usually do.  I don't know if that will have any impact or not.   I'm waiting on the results.   That's, what we have done.

Tomorrow, my roomie goes back to her appointment.  They need to correct what they did.  Then there will be shopping on Friday.

This has been a hard week.  The heat didn't help.  It's supposed to cool some this week.  We'll see if that actually happens.  

That's it for now, take care.

Last Week Of July....

 

July is closing down.  It's supposed to be hot.   That should ease up a little as we enter August.  It's weird to think of August as the cooler month.  We'll see.  There's an appointment later in the week.   Other than that, it's just shopping & letting July wrap up.

That's it for now, take care.

Hello Fall...

Hello Fall, today is the equinox or Mabon.  It'd be nice to have a pleasant season & not an Autumn that just skips from blazing to freezing.  It could happen.  

This last week was rough on me.   There was a more to do than I'm used to doing & lot of it was fairly stressful.  The kitten's started his 3rd day of meds.  He ate & drank yesterday.  He's seems to be getting better, but we still don't know what the problem was.  I'm looking into other options for flea meds.  Frontline was useless & was making him ill.  We can't afford the Nexgard the vet was pushing.   And, I've read about quite a few people's cats having issues with it.  We'll see how this goes.

Hello Fall, be nice.

Made It To Saturday...

 

The 1st of the month stuff has been handled.  It was a busy week.  Things should calm down for a bit.  Most of the remaining bills are handled online until the gas bill shows later in the month.  Technically, that'll be October's bill, but it runs early.

I took the 1st dose of Dovato yesterday.  So long Triumeq & hello new med.  As long as it does the job, I should be on this for a while.  Maybe the next thing will a long acting med.  That could be interesting.

That's all for now, take care.

Busy Wednesday...

 

On top of our normal midweek routine, it's the 1st month & I have an appointment.  This day is going to be rushed.  It's been that way all week already.  Tomorrow will rushed in the morning, because my roomie will have some early stuff to handle.  Then Friday will be shopping & whatever else didn't get handled earlier in the week. 

1st of the month time is always busy.  But this started on a Sunday, then there was a damn Monday holiday, then birthday stuff, then an appointment, then friend visits, etc... I'll be glad when this week is over.

BTW, the birthday meal went well.   It was all good, except for the margarita.  That shouldn't have even been called a margarita, it was awful.   But, the food was good.

That's it for now, take care.

1st Week Of June...

 

The 1st week of the month is almost over.  The weather & other things have conspired to make this week a little tiring.   Maybe that'll get better.  All we have today is shopping.  Then we'll check the mail & come home.

That's all for this morning.  Most of the articles were merely rehashing points I've already posted over a lot.   Take care.

3rd Week...

 

We're starting the 3rd week of May.  It's starting to get warm & TV shows are ending already.  This was a dud season.  It's supposed to be stormy this week.  We don't need any severe weather.

The issue affecting my roomie is ongoing & there isn't a lot of news at the moment.  It's just waiting to see how things go.  At this time, I think a quick resolve whichever way would be the best for those concerned.  Little good will come from this lingering.

That's all for now.  Time to go shopping.  Take care.

Busy Week...

It's going to be a busier than normal week for us.  We have something everyday.  More got added yesterday.  It's not common for us to have quite this much going.  

On the downside, it looks to be cloudy or raining a lot of the week.  April might go out soaked.  We didn't need more rain at the moment.

That's about it for now.  We'll head out in a bit to get this week started.  Take care.
